You can often help others more by correcting your own faults than theirs. Remember, and you should, because of your own experience, that allowing God to correct your faults is not easy. Be patient with people, wait for God to work with them as He wills.

In the light of eternity we shall see that what we desired would have been fatal to us, and that what we would have avoided was essential to our well-being.

It is only by fidelity in little things that the grace of true love to God can be sustained, and distinguished from a passing fervor of spirit. . . . No one can well believe that our piety is sincere, when our behavior is lax and irregular in its little details. What probability is there that we should not hesitate to make the greatest sacrifices, when we shrink from the smallest?

Listen less to your own thoughts and more to God's thoughts.

Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies

It is often our own imperfection which makes us reprove the imperfection of others; a sharp-sighted self-love of others

How rare it is to find a soul quiet enough to hear God speak.
